ONE was a very small number. One day, King Minus appeared and he promised ONE that he would be the biggest number of all. To make that dream real, the king gave him a few planes with which he could build a terrible weapon: the MINUS sign. ONE began the fight and when he conquered the last army, there were just ZEROs everywhere. Then, ONE ordered to tie them with iron chains, but the ZEROs clashed him and ONE understood that weapons were useless. Making metaphorical use of the mathematical operation of subtract, the author shows the madness of wars by brilliant texts and drawings.
